Here are some other versions of the tune in which Frankie Trumbauer takes a solo. Prez certainly learnt a lot from Tram.



Paul Whiteman & His Orchestra (1929; 1st recording) Trumbauer's solo: 1:14 to 1:43

Frankie Trumbauer Orchestra (1934) Trumbauer's solo: 0:37 to 1:06

Frankie Trumbauer Orchestra (1946) Trumbauer's solo: 1:12 to 1:46

My nomination for most historically interesting recording of China Boy. Charlie Parker recording himself using a Benny Goodman Trio record as a backing track.
